I have a Canon T2i with 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses but I can't figure out how to attach the wide angle or macro lense. Help?

all you have to do is screw the attachment in front of your 18-55 lens, if you are using the macro lens screw out the wide angle part, if you using the wide angle then screw out the macro piece, they come apart

You may need a step up or step down ring, depending on what size diameter your lenses are.

if you unscrew the macro lens it litterally screw on to the inerior of your Foxus slider if thats what it called but its a screw on the end it took me like 2 hours to figure this our too

Fine threads allow you to turn it clockwise to attach it to the installed lense. A lite two fingered "snug" when tightning it down, is all you need to confirm that it is fully seated.

The lens is well made. That being said your 15-55mm will give better wide angle performance. I have the lens from vivitar, while it is solid I can only use the macro section. The wide angle lens creative terrible vignetting and quality fall off on the outside of the frame. I tried it on my 18-55 and it degraded the image with wide angle but is fun to use for the macro. I will purchase a Canon 500D Closeup lens to replace the macro portion of this Vivitar combo. Oh, I am using a t3i (600D). I would not waste money. Sorry.

yep it will fit on the lens of t2i. cheap enough its worth a try - but no where near the quality of spending the money on a wide angle lens.

I've connected my T2i ( with an adapter.. no lens) to the rear cell without any issues.I would suggest attaching the camera to the scope and and rotating the entire unit until the scope and camera are parallel with the ground, if the scope tilts upwards it's likely that either the gears are worn or the camera is too heavy. Hope this helps.

My canon T3i, with my 18/55 lens works perfectly with this attachment. The attachment can be used as either the Macro, or the Fisheye portion. Either way, to use it, screw off the protective back cover of the lens, and take off the cover of whatever lens you have on the camera. The attachment should screw perfectly on to the lens portion of your camera. If the pitch in the screw-on is damaged, or not the correct type, then it wont fit, and should be sent back to Amazon. These attachments fit on the existing LENSES...not the body of the camera (bayonet lock mechanism) itself. It will fit (screw on) whatever lens you have on the camera. I hope this helps! I'm enjoying mine, periodically, whenever I can get the time away from working:-)

Probably not. The extensions are designed for macro photography. It seems like the 55mm would allow you to be close enough. I just tried using the mounting rings with my 55-250 lens. Not being sure what you are trying to do, I would suggest trying it. You may want to use the extension rings anyway. But you may want to consider a smaller lens with the IS and autofocus capabilities.

unscrew the wide angle lens off the bottom piece, which then becomes your macro lens.

The macro (wide angle) lens does not fit onto the camera directly but rather onto the end of the a set of lens. The macro comes with a conversion kit if certain sizes. If you are in the ownership of a d600 camera....I do not recommend this macro. I ended up returning mine due to a light ring that would appear. The glass inside refracts and reflects some light off of the inside body of the wide angle and then gives a semi halo affect. Other users have commented on this yet I still purchased them and returned immediately. Hope this helps.

I have the T2i and it works perfect,once you screw on the adapter and place the flash on the lense.

for wide-angle you simply attach/screw this new lens (both pieces combined) onto your stock lens. It gives a wider field of view in all directions, but you do get the dark corners which you'll probably end up cropping upon editing. The Macro Lens is for taking pictures of extreme close-ups, like a flower or insect. For that application you unscrew the Wide Angle component of this lens combo and just have the Macro part attached to your stock lens. Auto-focus works fine. I don't think you can use just the wide angle part of this new lens combo. It wouldn't attach to the stock lens unless you had some kind of male/male adapter, which is why I don't think you can use it alone. I might be wrong, but I haven't tried. Hope this helps.

Look inside your lens cap, and it will say 52mm or 87mm, etc. and you will order that macro filter size for your lens. Check the description on the Vivitar website, and it will tell you what sizes the filters come in. I am not into macro photography a lot, but I did get some spectacular photos. The lenses can all be screwed on together or one at a time. It was well worth the small amount of $$.

The filters do not have threads to accept anything in front. The mount is 53mm so if your macro lens is 53mm then you might be able to attach to the threaded mounting base.

I have the Canon 50mm 1.4. The Bokeh is not very good. not a good choice for macro. I'm now looking for a macro lens.

You have to have the macro filter connected to the wide angle for it to work. So it will still be able to attach to your lens with a 58mm diameter. That said, the front of the wide angle glass is a 62mm filter diameter. (Just measured it)

It comes with a bunch of sizes of attachments that screw into the front if a lense. I have a t5i with a canon 100mm macro lense and it fit that lense fine. It should fit most if not all canon lenses.

Hello, As far as we can tell there is no adapter available for this lens in order to shoot macro. Thank you for your interest, UsedPhotoPro

You just have to fix it to your camera lens, as in a 18.55 or the zoom lens, which ever you are planning to use. It will give you the benefit of using your zoom along with the wide angle. This is an adapter only so it has to used with your camera lens. Just screw it onto the lens and start shooting..
